Traction bar

I was looking through some old american 4wd mags recently and saw a neat idea for a traction bar. Havnt tried it yet but looks good in theory.
It was a link mounted to a bracket welded to the u bolt plate ( flipped above spring ) that ran to the rear shackle and attached to the centre bolt. Obviously you would need extended shackles but what are peoples thoughts on this? It may limit spring compression and droop which in turn would limit flex, not sure how they over come this.

any traction bar will have an effect on the way your suspension moves.
its what they do.
